of the city of benny and going no problem making those very unsafe people in that part of the country. a very hide of the violence, and people feel that the recent efforts of the con, relieved me in the last 6 months, haven't succeeded. they declared estates of martial law in the eastern provinces. so definitely the sentiment among many people that if somebody can just put a stop to the, the terrible master kids need the attack on civilian target, then that would be a good thing. the same time. a lot of skepticism from some people about whether you're going to coming in 3 and once again will bring stability or just yet more instability. the biggest number of people are in desperate need of the most aid and decades. as a warning from the u. n. as it launches its humanitarian appeal for the next year, after the taliban take over afghanistan, tops the list with a call for 4 and a half $1000000000.00 of aid to help more than $24000000.00 people. syria comes

next out of 37 nations and regions with 4200000000 dollars needed to help 14000000 people in the ongoing war. while more than $20000000.00 people in yemen need just under $4000000.00 in assistance in that countries entrenched conflict. and as our diplomatic editor james base reports, a global total is staggering. the humanitarian situation around the world was already the worst. it's been at any time in recent years. but now the un says it's deteriorating even more. in 2022, it's estimated that 274000000 people be in need of humanitarian assistance. a 17 percent rise in the u. n. is appealing for record amount for its annual appeal. $41000000000.00 us dollars. do you ends on the secretary general for humanitarian affairs? martin griffith struggled when asked to name the worst crisis. i think it here is

the most concerning. i mean it's a terrible thing to have to choose between. you know, places of such great need subsidized is at its worst and they barely get to mention. you'll remember when haiti had that extraordinary earthquake back in, in the middle of august, it didn't make the news for that week because of course the taliban were walking into couple of that time. so it feels somewhat improper, somehow to choose among these places. in some of the humanitarian emergencies, for example, somalia, or the democratic republic of congo, the situation has been bad for decades and it's not getting any better in some places though. in 2021. notably ethiopia, mamma, and i've got stung. things got much worse. a flash appeal for afghanistan in september was a success. it's now over a 100 percent funded. but the collapse of the economy, coupled with the worst drought for over 30 years,

means much more funding is now needed. more and more afghans are struggling to survive here, selling their clothes on the street in a country where it's estimated, the price of bread has gone up 80 percent in just a few months. james bows out jazeera of the united nations, austria's former leaders, sebastian court has made a shock announcement that he's to quit politics completely. he's under investigation for corruption and stepped aside as chancellor in october courts. his announcement was swiftly followed by his replacement decision to resort to resign. alexander schoenberg was widely seen as a temporary appointment while caught attempted to clear his name is been beat her, and haley good nor and i am neither a sales nor a criminal. i am a human being with strengths and weaknesses with failures and successes and everything else. and especially because there are accusations that have been raised for the past couple of months. it is important for me to state again. i am personally looking forward to the day,

even if it could take years on which i can prove in court, that the accusations against me are simply wrong epistle, a fight to preserve an abandoned palestinian village is entering a potentially critical phase tenders to start work on a redevelopment plan and due to be issued in the coming weeks campaign is opposing the live st would destroy a rare historical and cultural monument. every faucet reports from left to it on the northern slopes of western ocean in every fevans and there lived there very view or so my life english tele. so you my childhood, jacobo day was born on this jerusalem hillside in 1948 years later, he was one of 3000 palestinians who fled or were forced from homes here in the fighting that preceded the creation of the state of israel. it was a scenario repeated across historic palestine known to palestinians as the napa or

catastrophe, both cal balance than it does not give me to come back to live. this is my dream, but at least thou lift i remain to remain left there. as i witness. for all on what happened in this area. but there has been some change earlier this year to is really brothers opened this guest house built from 3 hubs. looming, larger is a redevelopment plan, sponsored by israel's land authority. in may, it promised to invite bids for work on more than 250 housing units, a commercial center at a hotel. it's a moment of glory for jerusalem to build a new neighbourhood aren't in that particular place. of course, i am aware that the palestinians are, are dreaming about the day that they will be able to return there. that means

perpetuating the conflict. and i am not for that. go by says green spaces, terraces and ruins would be preserved. but for a broad coalition of campaigners, the project would destroy the soul of the unique space. what's rare about this campaign is that it seems to be getting some real traction. palestinian voices have been joined by jewish heritage and environmental campaigners and that position as one the backing of jury summons municipal government. the construction tendering process slated for the summer has already been delayed several times. the latest deadline is the end of the year. the campaigns lawyer says it's down to effective work in the courts and in the public sphere is riley land authority. since that the preservation of life is preservation of stones preservation of architecture of buildings. while in our view, that reservation of lift is the preservation of the infant village that but a senior village of lift as testimony for the history of the place. in 2012

campaigners won a court case that put a freeze on the plans. the hoping that had bestowed in lifters, history can be repeated. every faucet, algebra lifter, west jerusalem. corruption is a major issue and kissed on the central asian nation, has long been played by bribery vote buying, intimidation, smuggling and organized crime. but one non profit organization is trying to change the country's future using traditional music and art to highlight social issues. so most of the reports from the capital, bish kick. yeah. this duncan, poets and singers incur gustavo known as akins have been a bridge between people and kings. since before the days of modern government thing not done have i'm along again speaking truth and demanding justice. the packing is seen as a public figure who cannot be balked hard work and woollen bidding to then i'll put

on the credit of languages. people are singing a nation. when a child is born, pupils sing songs. when a person dies, people also sing songs. and now at this time of need, the storm team with people who care about the nation are putting research findings to song it will be of benefit to our nation's camera in a country were decades of corruption have eroded public trust, where people have stopped listening investigative reporters team up with traditional folk artists to make videos about crooked politicians and criminals and highlight serious social issues. i asked them using ancient ways of talking about modern day problems. with the notion when there was persecution, akins would communicate it. they would sing the truth to the people to wake up people to what is good, what is the right way. and that is why i think us communicating in this way with the people as an achievement videos featuring traditional forms of song and

art. get more views online after what we went through a historically, after being, you know, under soviet rule ration influence. we are just starting to realize who we are as a nation and shedding all these filters that were put on us how we view ourselves. and all these traditional art farms, it sounds uniting something very important in our people because we are realizing julio and taking pride as courageous people. and that's through traditional forms of art. and for young people who make up nearly a 3rd of the country's population, the hope is adopting the old ways can help to paint a brighter future over the threads or he is born. in my illustration, i use more dark colors because it describes our situation and shows how gloomy it is and how confused the story is. that's why i use such dark shades. if every person bring some benefit for our country, this is

a very positive point. i tried to do what i know to help our country out of the crudest on his experienced political turmoil. some people say they are tired of hearing about the nation's problems. but as the i can say, words are always better in. so the rules and bas ravi odyssey rubbish can stay with us on our 0 coming up. we have all your sport with geminus. thanks our and after the break, we hear from the back of it on the fungi drama. plus the lockouts in made it a baseball or that and more coming out live from a special our cup studio on die haws waterfront. ah

me ah ah

ah ah welcome to houses. there is a special coverage. it's a fee for our preparations. the next world cup live from waterfront inside. ha. hello on 7 asked. we've got plenty coming your way, including the latest on the drama, plus a lockout in major league baseball here in cash. or we'll look at the challenges of growing a graph for a while. cut the football, but it is death. it's climate. the more on how the archive is laying. the groundwork for car thought 2022 a bit later. the us navy joke of it says he fully supports the decision from the women's tennis association to suspend that tournaments in china and hong kong. it follows the disappearance of punch. why, from public view?

for 3 weeks since accusing a taught the chinese official of sexual assault chinese state media then released the videos of her. and the international olympic committee says it's by twice the w . c. a is demanded, a full investigation into songs, claims, and proof that she's not subject to intimidation. i support fully w t a 's stands because we don't have enough information about the shy thing and the her well being in her health is of the utmost importance for the tennis community. regardless of the fact that it's her, it can be anybody, both male and female player, that something like this could happen. and i, i, i don't see any, anything wrong in a w t a and everyone actually a t p as well. asking for clarity on what is going on

a short time ago. i always fights a veteran tennis for i to john weather and started by asking for his thoughts on how the international olympic committee is handled at the punch. why is she the context here? of course is that we are, you know, let lesson where we're about 2 months removed from a winter olympics in china, which obviously complicates this. but i know, i think this is a, a cowardly and, and even naive take. i mean, here, here you have a decorated athlete, a former olympian who has issued this long, that this was a 1600 word essay about this me to allegation with names and dates and specificity . and for the i o c to essentially say well, she's walked back and we've seen her on a zoom called nothing to see her. let's go on. and it really is i had at best it is naive. and again, you do wonder if, if the winter olympics were not in china 2 months from now, if this might be a bit of a more principle stand from the i o. c. but right now that is, it's very interesting to compare women's tennis and the i o c 2 very different

reactions to the same set of circumstances. the w t. i made this deal in china and there are no chinese players in the top 50. if the players are spoke candidly, they would say they don't particularly enjoy playing in china. it's a long way to go. there aren't a lot of fans and the w t, as they have been by taking this, this bold stand. that is very much at odds with, with other businesses and other sports leagues. the w t a is really distinguish itself this last few weeks. they've gotten a lot of good publicity, it's got way beyond the sports pages. and if somehow the w t, a can capitalize on all this good will, if the market will somehow recognize this, this backbone they've showed, they may end up the big winners here. they'll lose these events in china, the lose that revenue. but that doesn't mean it can't be offset by all the good will and all the good publicity that the w t is generated for this principle stamps . i think the big question here is the public and these, these are businesses. they have consumers, they have clients, and i think if there is enough public outrage, i think this could impact

a lot of sports. i think what makes a difference? you could always say, well, you know, human china has human rights abuses or china has weaker detention camps in the west . it's very different when there is an athlete who is involved. you have this level of specificity. many people in tennis, they know pumps way when they hear her allegations, when they see that she has been censored with her name has been scrubbed from search engines. that's a lot different from the sort of big concern, serious and legitimate as they are. that's a lot different from sort of a vague human rights abuses. and i think that other sports are going to have a very tough choice to make. and again i, i think the public plays a bigger role than perhaps they collectively realized if the n b a really feared backlash. i think you could see a stance much more similar to women's tennis for the 1st time in 30 years. major league baseball has locked out its players. it's happened because t minus and the amount of the players association has failed to settle on the collective bargaining agreement. that means right now,

all activity in baseball has stopped including player traits as still more than 3 months until the start of the season. they still some time for settlement to be reached. the dangerous real. there's a huge amount of animosity between the owners and the players, and that goes back to, well before my time in baseball, but i was, i was working for major league baseball. and even in the things that i did, which was mostly in europe, you know, you still had to overcome a lot of suspicion on the part of the players. i don't think it will be worked out easily. the level of trust is very, very low between these 2 groups. here in cats are the country's aiming to hold the 1st carbon neutral wildcat next year. organizers hoping to do that through one of the biggest a tough and tree nurseries in the middle east. shaneka raska has more it's early morning on a hot and humid autumn day in cattle, but the work of the world cut turf and trina history is reaching fever pitch.

there's grass to be caught and watered, and tough to be delivered to stadiums for the biggest warm up event so far, the arab cup. what we did here were just like a grab a piece of land from the desert and were converted to this beautiful, a land full of for trees and the grass. got those breakfast for the gross way, the way. because the glass needs son or needs are water, need for sizes, and we can arrange all of this. here. the tariff is cut into long lengths. first. is them carefully rolled up on to a tractor wrapped in mesh. and finally, the precious bundles are placed carefully on the back of the truck to release the stadium. the team here have the process so well rehearse. they set a record for the fastest turf laying of purple pitch my, completing it in just 6 hours and 41 minute. but just like the 1st middle east world cup, the grass here is unique. having to stand up to more boots and cold temperatures

over a short period with matches held over $28.00 days in just 8 stadiums. this events is gonna be in the winter. and with our design, new design of the stadiums, it's more complicated and higher. so we had the challenge that with this air conditioner or the stadiums. so it's cooler than usual by generating a new, a kind of gus that can survive during the summer and the winter. and through the extensive a schedule of games we get to north, which species is gonna walk more for the water? it's not just tough that they're growing here at this nursery. there's also all of these trees. some of them have been saved from sites around cats are, while others have been donated by members of the community. this is the place that we saved all the trees from all around the doha. some of the trees are very old. you. that's more than 50 years old. so in each 3,

you will find the tag and the stack or should have the name of the project that had came before and also where it's going. and it has a number that in our database. we know all the details about it actually for in some area or some threes, we know even how much we bought it or how much the person who did it for us or how much he paid for. so i remember one of the so is that one of their guys, he was a kid that is good. he donated like his grandfather 3 and he said like my grandfather, he bought it for 2 ariel in 1970. so a bit for me. this is like the legacy and the history of the of the, of the cities. the trees aren't just hate to make the aries around the stadium, looked more attractive to fans. an average mature tree absorbs $21.00 kilos of carbon dioxide a year. the equivalent of a 170 kilometer journey in a petro car. cat are aims to plant more than $5000.00 of them. they'll absorb greenhouse gases and local pollution as they aim for carbon neutral event. as the

saying goes, the grass and the country will be greener on the other side of the world cup. john gets raska al jazeera doha out. so yes, bought from me in de ha, i can now hunt you back to lauren in london. thanks jim. an outgoing german leader angler medical is being treated to a traditional send off to mark the end of her 16 years as chancellor. she has chosen some personal favorites for the military band to play. ah. that was a 1974 pop song called you. you forgot your the color film by east german artist, nina hagen, who later became a punk singer michael up to not to stand in september's election. she stayed on his chancellor until coalition talks confirmed ala shops as her successor is expected to take office next week. that's it for me,

aren't ada about morning moment. ah ah! and a free fall precision. these athletes are experts in the art of jumping out of planes. more than 40 military parachuting teams have descended here to the desert of guitar to compete for the world championship title. the competitors are all active military members and have been training for years to get here. most have tens of thousands of jumps to their names. each country will compete in 3 disciplines. freefall,

skydive, accuracy, landing, and 4 way formation. men and women compete separately, but under the same flag. you know, i can't do a story about parachuting and not jump out of a plane as we climb up. the teams mentally prepare for their job. i try to do the same then minutes later, once the earth is just a blurb below it's time to free fall from the al jazeera london broker sent it to people in thoughtful conversation. large cannot be easily erased by, by the superpower with no host and no limitations. what mattered, you know, was to be radical. how can the thing that's radical, the for say, part one of the highway. and denise couple is not about wanting to sell. a lot of the message in the studio b, unscripted. on alex's era,

we understand the differences and similarities and cultures across the world. so no matter what we've been using, kind of calls that matter to you with germany bars the unvaccinated from much of public life as it tries to contain a dramatic rise in current of ours cases. year's president joe biden tightens international travel restrictions and urges booster shots as concerns grow over the new omicron buried. ah, lauren taylor's, his al jazeera life from london. also coming up the u. s. warns russia could face serious consequences if it invades ukraine as moscow denies ella.
